EDITOR’S QUESTION
There are other aspects to consider when
implementing a cloud strategy; a reliable
Internet connection, for example, needs to
be clearly defined, as a lack of access can
impact the cloud solution and the business
operations. Additionally, considerations
around data transfer rates and defining
what is an acceptable speed at which data
needs to be uploaded or downloaded in the
cloud, as a business must ensure that it can
manage end user requirements.
Lastly, data transfer volumes and frequencies
should also be addressed, to allow for
existing bandwidth capabilities to meet
these requirements.
With 2018 expected to see solid increases
in cloud adoption and transformation
strategies, there are elements that a
business’ cloud strategy needs to address to
get this right. But no matter what, businesses
should be placing a strong focus on security,
as this is one area that can see a business
succeed in cloud adoption and potentially
leapfrog ahead of competitors.
